Good habits are very important for us to study, so all students need to have good study {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When you have them, you learn things {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. You also remember them easily.

    For example, if you want to study English well, it is necessary to listen to the teacher carefully and take {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in class. Besides, you need to read English {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the morning. While reading, looking{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the new words in the dictionary is also a wise way.

    Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} your bedroom. A quiet place will help you only to think about one thing．

    When you study, do not think about {#blank#}8{#/blank#} things at the same time. Only think about your homework. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you do this, you will do your homework more quickly, and you will make fewer mistakes.

    Good study habits are very useful for each of us. If you do not have them, try to develop them. If you already have some, try to make{#blank#}10{#/blank#} better.

    Last year my English class was difficult. First of all, it wasn't easy for me to understand the teacher when she {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(talk). She spoke so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick) that I couldn't understand every word. I was afraid to speak in class {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I thought my classmates might laugh at {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I).

    Then one day I watched {#blank#}5{#/blank#}English movie called The Sound of Music. I fell in love with it. So I decided {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(watch) other English movies. I realized I could get the meaning {#blank#}7{#/blank#}listening to the key words. My pronunciation improved as well. I think that doing lots of listening practice {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) the secret of becoming a good language learner.

    Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar. So I started to take lots of grammar {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(note) in every class. I wrote my own original sentences using the grammar I was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(learn). It's amazing how much this helped.

    Now I am really enjoying my English class.

    If you want to learn a foreign language well, you should follow some ways. Here are some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(建议) for you.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (首先), you must pay attention to the importance of listening and speaking. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (孩子) in English-speaking countries first listen to others. You can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word and pay attention to key words in the sentences.

    Somebody may be a good {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (倾听者), but he dare not speak. He's afraid of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (制造) mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. There are no secrets in English {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (学习). Try to have conversations with your friends or {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (外国人) in English. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (你自己) in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (更多) you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.

    Reading and writing are more important lo senior school students. You must choose the books you're {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (感兴趣) in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense.

    Easier said than done. Well, let's practice more from now on. I'm sure you'll improve English in this way.
